Episode 84: What Clinical Psychologist Danuta Wishes People Knew About Girls On The Spectrum

Girls with autism are often undiagnosed or diagnosed much later, because original diagnostic criteria have a boy bias. The challenge of receiving a proper diagnosis for their daughter is a early hurdle faced by many parents. I think we all know neurotypical boys and girls are very different in their social, communication and behaviour, and this is the exact same for nuerodiverse children.

To help out, I thought I would list the main differences between girls and boys with autism spectrum, as well as tips and strategies to try. Check out the blog here.
